If you’ve reached this website because you are considering seeking help, I know that this can be a daunting step. ​Life can be perplexing, complex and difficult to navigate. There may be some challenges that are affecting you right now – maybe a sense that something isn’t right, a sense of feeling stuck or trapped.

​

In life, we often absorb messages about who we are, or who we think we are meant to be, and assume roles and expectations. Therapy can offer a unique space and opportunity for opening up an exploration about how these align with your own sense of self and who you want to be, moving forward.

​

You may want to find a deeper understanding of yourself, explore recurring patterns – or discover a sense of purpose, meaning or direction. It may be a general feeling of anxiety, depression or a sense of being overwhelmed. There may be specific situations that lead to difficult emotions, holding you back from moving forwards with your life.

 
Focused Attention is the Norwich-based psychotherapy practice of Neil Saunders. I offer a safe space to explore these issues together and navigate a process of positive change. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together towards your goals. I can offer a non-judgemental, confidential space for us to work through your difficulties at a pace that is right for you.

 

I am a qualified person-centred therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I also have qualifications and experience of working with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy – integrating cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy. This can offer another useful lens for understanding difficulties and can provide some evidence-based techniques for managing stress, reducing anxiety and changing behaviours.

 

Having training and experience of different approaches, I allow the process of therapy to adapt to your needs rather than following a fixed model.
